Former Norwich City footballer Ruel Fox was given three points on his driving licence after admitting speeding.
Fox was caught doing 37mph in a 30mph zone in a BMW car on Henley Road, Ipswich, on August 11 last year.
He pleaded guilty to speeding when he appeared before magistrates in Lowestoft yesterday.
Andrew Perry, prosecuting, said the vehicle was caught by a laser camera and that police were unable to identify the driver.
